THE TOT LOT

What this record means

The record shows that “THE TOT LOT” is an abandoned Intent‑to‑Use service mark filed by Gabriella Souza Calvillo, and it is no longer live; the USPTO issued an abandonment notice on Jan 5 2015 because no Statement of Use was filed after the Notice of Allowance. The only listed offering is “On‑line trading services in which seller posts products to be auctioned and bidding is done via the Internet,” filed in class 035 for advertising and business services, so a similar name used for any online auction or bidding platform would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “THE TOT LOT” in unrelated fields. There is no Supplemental Register entry, and the prosecution history simply moves from publication to a Notice of Allowance and then to the abandonment for lack of use. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice in early 2015, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a comparable online auction service, but the mark’s dead status means it no longer blocks new filings on its own.
